In recent years, the entertainment company Netflix began making their own TV shows. House of Cards was Netflix’s first big show, and it has been very popular. This drama tells the story of Frank Underwood, a politician in Washington D.C., and his beautiful and intelligent wife, Claire. The Underwoods are both very powerful, and they usually get what they want.

Kevin Spacey plays Frank Underwood, and he plays opposite Robin Wright. Fans of House of Cards don’t know who steals the show more. Both of these actors are phenomenal!

Andy_H: Oh, absolutely! I would never want to rob you of something wonderful! It started out as the first show that Netflix produced themselves, and the acting is phenomenal!

Jessica: It’s incredible! I was blown away by Robin Wright, who… I don’t know if you remember… was the Princess Bride. And to see her looking so mature and in such an incredibly challenging role, opposite Kevin Spacey… They’re incredible together! And I believe they won some awards for this show.

Andy_H: Oh yeah. I think they got an Emmy. And Robin Wright… man, what a fantastic actress! But let’s talk about Kevin Spacey. He steals the show as President Frank Underwood.

Jessica: Absolutely.

Andy_H: And his direct address, when he looks right into the camera and talks straight to you… it’s almost chilling.

Jessica: I have goose bumps. I love it! I can’t wait to watch the fourth season. And then we’ll have to get together and talk all about it.

Good vocabulary included but the sense is a bit lost I think. It could be more logical but the aim of this website is not writing a good content but learning. In this regard, it is jut awesome!If you are looking for contend of high quality - buy personal statement for me .

I haven´t seen House of Cards or any other political show. I used to watched a more lightly and funny show ” The Big Bang Theory” . I have said “I used ” because the new season , at least for me , has lost its charm. A bummer,
